The Duke

Why Buy A The Duke?
This latest entry into Disneys pantheon of canine cinema has an English duke expiring within the first 20 minutes and leaving his estate and title to his manservants dog ,Hubert, rather than to his greedy nephew and wife. Once kids recover from the sadness of the lovable codgers demise, they will enjoy the high jinks as the servant, Chives (James Doohan, a.k.a. Scotty to Star Trek fans) and his American niece (newcomer Courtnee Draper) combat the covetous couples schemes in order to save the castle and their pets title. Along the way, a Queen Elizabeth look-alike–complete with Welsh corgi–makes an appearance at an introductory ball that involves Sloppy Joe appetizers, flatulence, and humans waltzing with dogs. The niece has a chaste romance with a young duke masquerading as a local boy, and Hubert gets caught up in a love triangle between Cosette, the high-falutin poodle, and Daisy, the down-to-earth basset hound. While billed as family entertainment, this 85-minute movie will have most parents thinking fondly back to Shaggy Dog sequels and Air Bud. (Ages 4 and older) –Kimberly Heinrichs

Family Fun
Philip Spink’s great masterpiece of family fun! Nice mix of characters that worked as a family to put the whole movie together. A very enjoyable working experience and one I’ll share for years to come (I was an extra in it- A butler). Way to go Cast and Crew! A must see for everyone!…

The Duke is a Fun Film for the Whole Family!
The Duke is a very cute movie that features a live bloodhound and basset hound. Children (and adults) who are dog lovers will enjoy this movie. The story is a little predictable with a happy ending, but that’s the way it should be with a movie so adorable! I highly recommend giving The Duke a turn in your DVD player.

Official size and weight Wilson Authentic Game Equipment logo New in the manufacturer NFL Logo Box. Wilson Sporting Goods and the NFL have announced the return of “The Duke”, the first re-branding of the league’s official football since 1969. “The Duke” is in honor of football legend Wellington “Duke” Mara. Mara, who passed away in October, 2005 at the age of 89, dedicated 81 years to the New York Giants as an administrator, owner and unwavering booster. In 1940, heeding the advice of influential team owners Tim Mara of the New York Giants and George Halas of the Chicago Bears, the NFL selected Wilson as the league’s official football supplier. The following year, Wilson introduced a redesigned football and named it “The Duke” in honor of Mara’s son, Wellington. The Duke stayed in play for nearly three decades until the NFL and AFL merged in 1969.
